Our surgeons NEVER recommend surgery that requires hardware. In fact, we will not perform surgeries of this nature. We feel there are more successful, minimally invasive methods to resolve back pain. We’d be happy to review your MRI or CT Scans at no charge and offer our opinion on solutions.http://www.bonati.com/free-mri-review-help-diagnose-back-pain/

Our surgeons would never recommend surgery if a patient did not meet all of the qualifiers for such procedures, including trying alternative therapies – physical therapy, chiropractic care, medications – that failed to resolve the problem. We offer second opinions to patients who are already considering surgery as an option, with no obligation required. With more than 30 years’ experience, and more than 45,000 procedures performed, we know there are many people who need help to resolve their back pain who have tried other methods unsuccessfully.

Sat, 23 May 2015 07:31:28 +0000http://blog.bonati.com/?p=641#comment-149890Your website is insulting and misleading. According to a NEJM study, back surgery is rarely indicated. Most of these conditions are NOT treated well by physical therapy. Chiros have a scientifically documented better success rate. If these conservative therapies fail, only then should a patient seek surgery.

I feel you website is more interested in recruiting patients for financial gain than directing them to the best care.

Tue, 28 Apr 2015 19:22:02 +0000http://blog.bonati.com/?p=832#comment-145972I just returned from Mayo Clinic where I had tests and an injection. The surgeon determined my bones were too bad (osteoporosis) to have surgery that would require hardware so I am injecting Forteo for 6 months hoping to strenthen my bones.

Do you have any reply to this?

Thu, 05 Mar 2015 03:43:57 +0000http://blog.bonati.com/?p=878#comment-129781My teen daughter was diagnosed with Spondylolisthesis about a year ago bit has received no type of teeatment. The chiropractor did xray and and made the diagnosis but never gave any further information. My question is should we consult a spine and back specialists and what should we expect. She is 16 years old and complains daily with mild to serve back pain.

Fri, 13 Feb 2015 19:04:15 +0000http://blog.bonati.com/?p=937#comment-124745Deborah – I am so sorry to hear you’re still in pain, even after the surgeries and injections you’ve been through. It sounds as if the original root of your pain was never resolved. We help “everyday” people – every day! We’d be happy to have one of our surgeons look at your MRI or CT scans and offer his opinion on your condition and solutions. We never charge for the consultation, and there’s no obligation to use our services. Would you like me to connect you with someone?

Sat, 07 Feb 2015 20:16:29 +0000http://blog.bonati.com/?p=937#comment-122903I am 62yrs old, have had two lumbar fusion surgeries, have had facet injections, tried tens unit, many physicial therapy tries, tried a Choirpractor with no relief in back pain. I now have 5 grandchildren that I cannot “play” with as I would like too. I cannot walk around a grocery store or stand for a period of time. I had a MD “attempt” to install a pain stimulator in my back, but did not work. I think I have tried just about everything possible to get rid of this back pain.
I wish most of these procedures were not so very expensive that a person could actually afford them. It’s dishearting to know that there is something out there that could rid me of my pain, but I cannot afford it. I am currently retired and disabled.
When will someone actually help the “everyday” person with their procedures and just chalk it up to being good and helpful ??
